Why does a college begin? Why and how does a
college grow? In its stages of growth, what is the
institution to itself and to its students? . . . What is
Birmingham-Southern College?

The above questions could strike you as a trite
series of essay-prompters or as prodders to serious
thought. They can be, too, the reasons for a year-
book.

After orientation, any freshman could tell you that
Birmingham-Southern was begun with the genesis of
Alabama education — Southern University, founded
in 1856. The merging of Southern University and
Birmingham College in 1918 occurred in a nationally
turbulent period; the new college felt strongly and
obviously its tenacious roots. The years between that
frail beginning then and your particular now tend
to haze into vague history. But that history has a
cycle of vigorous innovations, secret doubts, admin-
istrative bogging-down, impatient reactions ... all
the emotions and pressures that are not the
atmosphere but the sustenance of a college.

Often in its history the college proper, motivated
by either a fear of strangling in mossy traditions or
by administrative ambitions, seems to lose itself
in a building program. The administration speaks
incessantly of expansions, additions, renovations,
budgets, bidding programs ... the campus resounds
with an eight-to-five hammering, drilling, bulldozer-
chugging ... the student, confronted by plank-and-
brick blocked pathv^/ays and classes moving from
room to room in a harried effort to escape the noises
of nearby construction, wonders when the emphatic
purpose of his school is gomg to be purely academic
again ....

Along with building construction, the most
obvious signs of administrative self-consciousness
are a sudden appearance of markers, signs, and
documented procedures. Not only are the faculty
and college officials often frustrated and irritated
by this collegiate red tape, but also the students
- especially the student leaders. It is comparatively
easy to slip into a state of muttered rage, open
defiance, or errant non-chalance against these
new rules rather than to accept their significance.
Like the pompous speeches of the neophyte politi-
cian or verbose prose of the amateur author, the
abundant administrative mandates indicate a
renewal of the original search for college excellence.
The mundaneness and awkwardness of this renewal
is sometimes ridiculous and often misunderstood.
Probably the beginnings of the college were, too.

With his peers and like his administrative
superiors, the student may engross his days
here in his own strange sort of building pro-
gram and regulation procedure. You build
a carefully patterned campus image; a busy
schedule of meetings, classes, dates; a
record of grades, credits, hours, honors . . .
you put a regulatory limit on introspection,
personal involvement, solitude.

There is here a deceptive ease in laying
hour on hour, day on day in a veritable wall
of activities. Eventually, you find that you
are only building the pressure higher and
higher within yourself until your very brain
is exploding with too much cramming of
fact and not enough thought . . . until your
hands constantly clench and unclench in a
futility of empty anger . . . until you are
smoking too much, laughing a little too loudly,
finding the minutes of dormitory and library
quietness unbearable . . . and nervously
searching for someone besides yourself
to listen to the sound of your words.

Mianina s.n'

Breaking through the meaningless, you learn here
something a little more than merely bettering your
existence: the essentiality of individual absorption
in a world of group motivational activites. When
there is realization of this collegiate world as an
all-too-brief chance for self-discovery, there is a
definition of "college" or more specifically
"Birmingham-Southern". Admittedly, this is an
idealized viewpoint, but one purpose of a college
is based on the highly idealized principle of man's
innate drive for self-fulfillment. Idealized or not,
the inner search was never unmarked by long
stretches of loneliness, despair, or doubt; no
maturity was ever fully attained without the sting
of momentary defeat or the manna of equally
momentary success. The campus, the carrel, the
classroom are minute battlegrounds for the
emergent individual and the emergent college.

DEDICATION

Scholar — Gentleman — Friend ... in these three
words are contained a brief but accurate description
of Dr. Henry Randall.

As a scholar, receiving his Ph. D. in 1963 at the
University of North Carolina, Dr. Randall compe-
tently possesses the expected requirements for a
college professor. But beyond his academic study,
diversified reading and extensive travel make a
class under Dr. Randall a genuinely educational ex-
perience. It is not in expecting, but in receiving a
high quality of work from his students that Dr.
Randall, the scholar, excels.

As a gentleman, Dr. Randall the person
emerges. His third-floor Munger office is open to
students for conversation as well as consultation,
while frequent meetings with students around cam-
pus serve to lessen his professional distance but not
his personal dignity.

As a friend, he frequently participates in the
more slapstick student affairs ... a pie eating con-
test, barking a slave auction, winning the May Day
"legs" contest ... all initiated with the quiet good
humor that also characterizes his lectures. In ad-
dition to the novelty of the unusual, however, his
interest extends solidly in other, more permanent
directions: SGA, Student Congress, Publications
Board ... to name only a few. Through individual
contact, through interest and helpful suggestion,
his value is felt subtly throughout the student body.

Scholar, gentleman, friend ... Dr. Henry
Randall.

ADMINISTRATION

In effect, the administration of a college
community is a service organization concerned
with smooth and efficient operation. Considering
the student as the ultimate determinant of edu-
cational policy, the administration must not only
cope with physical realities, but must delve into
the intangible realm of attitude and atmosphere.
This, then, is the most important but the most
challenging aspect of administrative functioning.

Progress must be their goal, but comprehen-
sive insight must be their method.

President Completes Third

Year:

Academic and Physical Progress

Evident.

Cynicism and negativism were the prevailing cam-
pus attitudes in 1963. Accepting the implied chal-
lenge, Dr. Howard M. Phillips instituted a progres-
sive program that has begun to operate on both the
educational and physical level.

In an effort to maintain top efficiency in every
area, a reorganization of administrative offices was
effected, and the acquisition of superior personnel
in every position has been an object of major con-
cern. In conjunction with his progressive develop-
ment, the building and renovating program is an
answer to the necessity of providing facilities equal
to the greater stimulative challenge which higher

education is providing.

Aware that progress could too easily be instigated
at the expense of the student. Dr. Phillips is con-
cerned with maintaining the small campus atmos-
phere of educational excellence and interpersonal
relationship between educator and student. Wishing
to avoid the critical appellation of "administration-
ism," he must insist, however, that academic free-
dom cannot be maintained without self-discipline.
To combine discernment with firmness is his objec-
tive in realizing his goal of maintaining and surpass-
ing the academic excellence which belongs to
Birmingham -Southern.

"The role of a college president is
not faced with problems, but with
challenges."

"The administration is a service
organization — a service to both the
faculty and students."

"The student is the central purpose
of the college."

Chancellor Snavely: The Beginning
of a Search for Excellence

Dr. Guy E. Snavely served as President of
Birmingham-Southern College from 1912 through
1937 and also as interim president in 1"955. He has
often been introduced as "Mr. Birmingham-
Southern" for it was during his first administration
that Birmingham-Southern began her continuous
search for excellence.

First a professor at Allegheny College, then Dean
and Director of Development at Converse College,
he became President of Birmingham-Southern Col-
lege, and later of Lafayette College. He has served
as a consultant to the U.S. Information Agency, and
has received from France the decoration of Officer
of the Legion of Honor. Dr. Snavely has known all of
the U.S. Presidents from Theodore Roosevelt to
John F. Kennedy, and such international figures as
Nehru and Hammarskjold. He is the recipient of
numerous honors; he has received twenty-three
honorary doctorates and has served as a Senator
of Phi Beta Kappa, and as national president of
Omicron Delta Kappa.

Dr. and Mrs. Snavely now reside in Birmingham,
and at eighty-four he is anything but retired, al-
though he has, by count, "retired" four times. Pres-
ently, in addition to serving as chancellor, he is a
consultant in locating competent persons for ad-
ministrative positions in the college world.

Dr. and Mrs. Guy E. Snavely

Board of
Trustees

Birmingham-Southern's reputation for achieve-
ment in the academic community is a direct reflec-
tion of the prominent men and women who serve
on her Board of Trustees. The North Alabama Con-
ference and the Alabama-West Florida Conference
each elect twelve trustees, six of whom are minis-
ters and six who are laymen in the Methodist Church.
One-third of the trustees elected by each Conference
are elected for a term of one year; one-third are
elected for a term of two years, and one-third for a
term of three years. There is also a group of six
trustees who are elected jointly by the two Confer-
ences without geographical and denominational
restrictions. They serve terms of three years each.

Dr. Abernethy Responsible for the

Academic

Planning

Known as an idea man. Dr. Cecil
Abernethy has completed his second year
as the college's Academic Vice President.
His competence as a scholar and an
executive and his service to the school
have been demonstrated in many areas.
After graduating from 'Southern in 1930
and completing work for his Ph.D. at
Vanderbilt in 1940, he returned to
Birmingham-Southern as on instructor of
English. He has served the college for
twenty years as professor, college theatre
director, dean, and Academic Vice Presi-
dent.

Dr. Abernethy is responsible for the
academic affairs of the college, and in
this capacity he is chairman of the Edu-
cational Planning Committee.

Dr. Weaver Serves as College
and Faculty Dean If II t

Before his appointment as Dean of the Col-
lege, Dr. O. C. Weaver served as professor of
religion and philosophy for eighteen years.
His administrative competence is shown in the
orientation program and the class schedule,
for which he is responsible.

An indication of his close connection with the
college is his co-authorship of Birmingham-
Southern College, I856-I956, which is an offi-
cial history of the College published in honor
of its centennial.

Dr. Weaver completed his A.B. at
Birmingham-Southern in 1935, his B.D. at Gar-
rett Theological Seminary in 1939, and his Ph.D.
in philosophy at Northwestern in 1952.

Mrs. Cothran in Tenth Year as the
Dean of Women

One of the best-known campus personali-
ties, Mrs. Robert AA. Cothran, is completing her
tenth year here. Besides being responsible for
all women students. Dean Cothran acts as ad-
visor to the Women's House Council and the
Panhellenic Council. Among her community
activities, she is instrumental in the selection of
Miss Alabama every year, and is former presi-
dent of the Birmingham Branch of the American
Association of University Women.

Mrs. Cothran received her B.S. degree from
Huntingdon College in 1924, and her M.A. de-
gree at Teachers College, Columbia University,
in 1926. She came to 'Southern in 1942 as a
sociology professor.

Dean Greaves Guides Residential
Program

After having served as former assistant to
the Dean of Records and Admissions at the
University of Alabama, Dean John A. Greaves
came to Birmingham-Southern in 1964. As
Dean of Students he is responsible for evaluat-
ing and creating a truly distinctive program of
residential life, extracurricular activities and
social events for Birmingham-Southern students.
Dean Greaves is presently completing work
toward his dissertation for his Ph.D. The thesis
will be an analysis of administrative organiza-
tion at certain state supported colleges and
universities in the Southeast.

He received his B.S. in secondary education
in 1950, his M.A. in school administration in
1957, and his advanced professional diploma
in education at the University of Alabama in
1960.

FACULTY

The stimulation of an inquiring mind into the
search for knowledge is the ageless challenge of
the teacher. To the college professor dealing in
areas which may range from the extremely prac-
tical to the totally theoretical, this is a challenge
which must involve not only meticulous grasp of
the subject matter, but dedication to the principle
of education.

A teacher or an educator? This must surely be
the ultimate standard judgment.

GREEKS

"The new administration thought these orders
were of great service to the management of the
College in helping to maintain discipline and in
holding up the standards of scholarship."

W. D. Perry
History of Birmingham-
Southern College 1856-1931

Undeniably, the Greek influence permeates
social, as well as academic, life on the Hilltop.
The decision to go out for rush, hopefully to receive
"the bid", is one of the most important ones a stu-
dent can make; he is selecting those who will
share his successes, failures, and companionship
for the next four years. At a time when Greeks
across the nation are being challenged to justify
their existence, the various brotherhoods and sis-
terhoods at 'Southern have replied with outstand-
ing campus leadership and consistently higher
scholastic rating than the non-Greek average.
Even the anti-Greeks and the "other five hundred"
must agree that fraternities and sororities daily
prove their worth by making a college out of a
hilltop and providing 'Southern with students.
Greek ties have caused many to say: "I'd leave if
it weren't for my fraternity."

The Panhellenic Council works primarily to co-
ordinate friendly relations and policy matters among
the Hilltop's six sororities. This "all Greek" council
is composed of the president, the rush chairman, and
a representative from each sorority, with the Dean of
Women, AArs. Robert M. Cothran, serving as advisor.

Rush, which can mean life or death for a sorority,
is the constant item of concern. Panhellenic, there-
fore, serves as the agent where rush regulations and
rules are formulated. Despite the cramped and
heated rooms of Stockham, Panhellenic manages to
guide more than one hundred girls through rush
week with amazing effectiveness.

The Interfraternity Council serves technically to
promote a workable relationship among the six fra-
ternities and to set up rush rules and regulations;
realistically, it provides the needed meeting ground
for Greek leadership on campus. The I.F.C. is com-
posed of the president and two members of each
fraternity, with the Dean of Students serving as
advisor.

In 1965-66, I.F.C. may be applauded for two
achievements: first, for co-operating with Panhel-
lenic in the planning and production of the initial
Greek Week; and secondly, for the abolishment of
the questionable quota system, somewhat forcefully
inaugurated two years ago.

AXO: Games and
Gambling a' Go-Go

Beginning in 1 885 on the campus of DePauw University, Alpha Chi Omega
originally was a music fraternity. From that year, the group developed into
the sixth national Greek-letter fraternity for women. At 'Southern, Alpha
Omega of Alpha Chi Omega displays not only the musical but academic
and social facets of campus life. Especially outstanding in intramural sports,
the Alpha Chi's this year repeated their highly successful venture onto the
stage and their Casino Party again proved to be another Hilltop favorite
special event, More exclusively, the AXO's social season highlight was their
January dinner dance. Sister of the lyre are members of House Council,
Student Congress, the debate squad, KDE, Triangle Club, Alpha Lambda
Delta and choir. In addition A Chi O's claim the Senior Manager of Intramural
Council and membership in Who's Who.

This year the AXO's voted to move the chapter meeting to the Lowenbrou.

AOPi: Everything's
Coming Up Roses

Tau Delta is one of 79 active chapters of Alpha Omicron Pi and was
installed at B.S.C. in 1925. The sisters of AOPi are generally credited on
campus with the majority of beauty honors. In past years, Miss Southern
Accent, along with several members of her court, have been girls of the red
rose. AOPi is proud to claim Miss Alabama, 1966, as their sister plus distinc-
tive sisters who serve as presidents of Andrews House Council, the freshman
class, and the Baptist Student Union. AOPi is also represented in the Student
Congress and Mortar Board. The warmth of sisterhood sparks a happy social
life: the traditional pledge dawn-wake-up by actives, the highlighted annual
dinner dance, and impromptu room parties. Nationally, the sisters are holders
of the National Philanthropic Award and recipients for the second consecu-
tive year of an AOPi national scholarship.

DZ: The DZ Lamp Burns
Brighter

Delta Zeta sorority began nationally in 1902. Theta Beta was colonized on the Hill-
top in the fall of 1962. Since that almost obscure beginning with nine charter members,
DZ has worked admirably to a 34-member status. Their laudable rush efforts this fall
resulted in seventeen prospective Delta Zetas. Their sister Greek groups are not only
admiring but pleased with this phenominal growth — a fact which speaks highly for the
DZ spirit. Presently holding the Birmingham Panhellenic Philanthropic Trophy, softball
and volleyball trophies, and the B.S.C. Intramurals Sportsmanship Award, DZ also holds
forth well in campus organizations. Among the sisters are found secretaries of Panhel-
lenic, Amazons, Newman Club, the debate honorary, and Canterbury Club. Delta Zeta
is also represented in the choirs, debate team, and volleyball all-stars.

KD:

Little Bit of Heaven,
Little Bit of Hades

The now annual Heaven 'n Hades Party joins the list of Kappa Delta
campus innovations as one of the best good times a Hilltopper can enjoy.
The KD's, a traditionally Southern sorority, were founded in 1897 in Virginia.
Alpha Upsilon chapter was organized at B.S.C. in 1 930. Striving for "that which
is honorable, beautiful, and highest", the white rose sisters support the Crip-
pled Children's Hospital with Easter egg hunts for the patients and monetary
donations. Not out of the campus limelight, the KD's claimed the honors of
AAay Queen, freshman class treasurer and secretary. Mortar Board member-
ship, and three campus beauties. While especially stressing scholarship
this year. Kappa Delta sisters still found time for their hilarious slave auction,
the pledge kidnapping, and pledge-planned room parties.

Pi Phi Girls: Tiiey're
Proud to Be

Although they are no longer the "studious angels" of past campus
stereotype, the Pi Beta Phi's of Alabama Alpha still strive to maintain their
admirable campus leadership in scholarship. Alabama Alpha received the
National Pi Beta Phi scholarship award for 1965. Study is not, however,
a full-time occupation for the exuberant and dynamic sisterhood. The Pi
Phi's originated the candlelighting ceremony of 'Southern's sororities, and
their mysterious "Cookie Shine" is still a much-speculated-on enigma. Pi
Phi's are presidents of Mortar Board, Panhellenic, and the American Chem-
ical Society, secretaries of the Activities Council and S.G.A., and cheer-
leaders. They are found in Triangle Club, Who's Who, Publications staffs,
S.G.A., Student Congress, K.D.E., and the AAiss Southern Accent Pageant.

ZTA: Looking for the
Zeta Tau Man

The enthusiasm and spirit of Alpha Nu of Zeta Tau Alpha first bounced
onto the Hilltop in 1922. Theirs is the distinction of being the first national
sorority on campus, and their activities continue to place them among 'South-
ern's foremost "pioneers". Winners of the Pledge Scholarship Trophy in 1965,
the Zetas also achieved runner-up position in the 1965 women's intramurals.
The traditional Zeta initiation day revenge which gives pledges full rein in
sophomore dorm rooms reached unprecedented humorous chaos this year.
The blue and grey shield is the symbol of many a sister in such campus
activitiesas cheerleading, Panhellenic Council, Mortar Board, Who's Who,
S.G.A., publications staffs. Triangle Club, Amazons, and the Miss Southern
Accent Pageant.

ATO: Three Cheers for
Alpha Tau

Alabama Beta Beta Chapter of Alpha Tau Omega entered the Southern University
campus in 1885 and has figured actively in campus life since. The Taus pride themselves
on a close union among the Brothers and on their scholarship achievements; they have led
the campus six of the last tv\/elve years in scholastic average. Men of the Toga hold key campus
roles, such as presidents of the I.F.C., Alpha Phi Omega, and Newman Club. Taus figure in
O.D.K., Student Government, and Triangle Club. After a good, hard rush, the ATO's pledged
thirteen men. Rushing equally hard in intramurals, the men of the Glazebook Creed placed
first in volleyball and third in football. Miss Marcia Flood is the Sweetheart of the men who
claim "a bond as strong as right itself and as lasting as humanity."

KA: The House That
Finagle Built

Versatility and unity — these are prime characteristics of one of 'South-
ern's first four fraternities: Kappa Alpha. The brothers were especially out-
standing this year due to their move into the long-awaited KA house on
fraternity row. The Southern gentlemen did not let their blasted budget mar
their love of a "blow-out" however, and the T.J. parties became grist for the
Hilltop legend mill. The Lee Boys serenade on the slightest provocation —
always accompanied by the pledge-designed lighted badge symbol; the
Brothers claim this continuous song fest as an obvious appreciation of
'Southern females. With the '65 pledge class rated first in scholastic averages,
the KA's boast of their men who are vice-presidents of the student body and
the IFC; president of Eta Sigma Phi, ODK treasurer, and members of the Honor
Council, and Who's Who. Miss Pat Graybill is the Kappa Alpha Rose.

through fall rush to the successful pledging of fifteen men. The traditional carrying of
purple, green, and gold coconuts by the Crescent pledges is a show of the strong and
friendly spirit between active and pledge. Remembering their social obligations, the Lambda
Chi's annually "kidnap" sorority presidents for a food basket ransom to be donated for
charity. A favorite LXA pastime is partying and their white two-story home was the scene of
many an after-the-football-game party this fall. On the campus scene, the men of LXA
hold positions in S.G.A., Student Congress, Eta Sigma Phi, and are presidents of Triangle

PiKA:

Calendar Men Mark

'Southern Time

The Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity was founded nationally in 1868 at the University of
Virginia and has since grown to a 132 chapter membership. Delta Chapter was the first
fraternity to be established at the old Southern University and is equally distinguished in
its claim as the fourth oldest chapter of PiKA. The men of Delta Chapter are a credit to
PiKA: they built the first house on fraternity row, elected the first pledge class sweetheart,
and will publish the only fraternity calendar for the campus. Striving to regain former campus
prominence, the men of Garnet and Gold placed second in football intramurals and received
a national PiKA award, the Harvey T. Newell Award for the most improved chapter. Pikes
serve as assistant editor of the News, president and vice-president of Caduceus, vice-
president of the Pre-Law Society, and are active in Theta Sigma Lambda and Theta Chi
Delta. Miss Audrey Ann Prude is the Dream Girl of Pi Kappa Alpha for 1 965-66.

Stressing excellence in character, personality
and leadership, the SAE's hold the key roles in the influ-
ential BSC organizations. After the founding of Signna
Alpha Epsilon at the University of Alabanna in 1856,
Alabama Iota was the second Greek group established
at Southern University, and the Sig influence still
remains a primary one on the campus. Among these
are: presidents of the student body. Circle K, OKD,
and the senior class; editors of the college newspaper
and annual; chairman of the honor council; and mem-
bership in Phi Eta Sigma.

The "E's", however, seem to have trouble follow-
ing the calendar, as New Year's Eve is annually
celebrated in November, except for this year when
the Brothers joyously rang in the New Year in December.
Patio parties, creek banks, and the antics of Brother
Bud are all part of the fraternal life enjoyed by the
Men of Minerva. At the '65 Sweetheart Party, Miss
Sally Argo was chosen as sweetheart of SAE. The
closely-knit brotherhood of the Purple and
Gold selected 16 men from fall rush and later
captured the coveted intramural football
M;~s0 championship as the fraternity entered

one of its greatest years on the Hilltop.

TX: Rally 'Round the Flag, Men

The youngest chapter on 'Southern's campus, Theta Chi is one of 135 active chapters
strengthening the "high ideals of God, country, and the College." While intent on the mean-
ingful college experiences, the Brothers of Beta Xi do not discount the social aspects. A matter
of pride to the pledges and actives was the valiant defense by the pledge brothers Littleton
and Weed of the new Theta Chi flag by seven rival fraternity men. Hopefully, the men of Theta
Chi will soon have a home on fraternity row where they can permanently post their new flag.
The Beta Xi men sparked the Hilltop S.G.A. elections with a vigorous campaign; their return-
ing number of actives is the largest in their history and optimism has rightly become the
keynote. Miss Maizie Griffith is the TX Sweetheart.

Since beauty is usually defined in terms of man in
appreciation of woman, the need early grows within a
girl to be told that she is beautiful.

If she is among the very lucky, the need is fulfilled
by not one but several someones; there are accolades,
bouquets of long-stemmed roses, beauty walks, trophies,
shining moments when the applause and the audience
are solely hers ....

Whether she bears an official title like Miss Alabama
or Miss Southern Accent, or merely walks in beauty to
the one person who shall always see her in that way-
long after the roses fade and the applause dies into
silence — the truly lovely girl is not forgotten at 'Southern.

Miss
Alabama

The qualities of gracious beauty, of quiet charm ore traditionally
Southern. Since 1925, to the special credit of our coeds, Birmingham-
Southern has been the academic home of nine Miss Alabama's. Of the past
seven consecutive winners, six have been 'Southern students.

Miss Linda Sue Folsom, having been crowned Miss Alabama for 1966,
earned the added distinction of placing among the top ten contestants in
the Miss America Pageant. Overnight the girl who sat next to us in music
class, trudged the same winter-weary Quad, stood in the same endless
registration lines became a state celebrity. She was transported from
Munger stage and the choir to an operatic solo on national television. Her
gestures were photographed and her comments quoted to be seen and
read in our hometown newspapers.

Linda Folsom carries on a Birmingham-Southern tradition. Throughout
this year, she has managed to assume the duties of official hostess for the
State of Alabama with a capability and charm belying her twenty years.
We can only applaud the excellence of her representation.

SPORTS

Athletics on the Hilltop is the same as athletics
anywhere: sweat soaking through a jersey, feet
pounding up and down on the hardwood, turned
ankle, dirt in scratches, blood, cheers, the grimace
of one more step. It reaches into the dorm, into
the fraternity house, into the snack bar, into the
letters home. It reaches — for one result: the crush
of defeat, or the inner, unconquerable feeling
of victory. Athletics is the same as life. For the
player and the spectator, there is no satisfaction
in mediocrity.

Panthers Boast
Best Hardwood
Record in a
Decade

This is the finest season to be realized by a Pan
ther basketball squad in the past decade. 'Southern
owes its success to three important faculties: the team,
the coach, and the energetic fans. The latter of these
factors is bright and new on this campus. A winning
team, and one with such an impressive record of 12
wins against 5 losses, will undoubtedly bring high re-
wards to Birmingham-Southern.

As the season began, the mighty Panthers seemed
rather meek in losing their first two home games. The
first loss was a 90-85 defeat at the hands of an ex-
perienced St. Bernard team. Following this loss was a
memorable one-point defeat at the paws of the La-
Grange Bears on an unbelievable three-fourth's court
shot at the buzzer.

New life was pumped into the team as the fans
stuck by them; before the Christmas holidays, they
bounced back to defeat both Alabama College and
the Sewanee Tigers. In the Sewanee game, the crowd,
entertained by Tiger Coach Varnell, clamored for 100
points, but the Panthers fell two short. However, these
shouts were not to go unanswered for long.

The century mark was posted against Alabama Col-
lege and four other opponents throughout the season.
After trouncing the Falcons at Montevallo, the Cats
returned home to defeat Georgia State 80-67. In-
vading Mississippi for their next road trip, the Pan-
thers made quick work of both Mississippi College and
Millsaps. Against the Choctaws, the Cats, led by Mike
Luther and Don Lundy, set o school record with 127
points; Luther had 39 and Lundy 31. The contest with
Millsaps was more reserved in scoring, with 'Southern
roaring off with a 91 -79 victory.

A chance for revenge came with the Panthers
traveled to Cullman for a return match with St. Ber-
nard. Surprised at the improvement in 'Southern's
squad, the Saints never recovered from the initial
shock. The Panthers, with high scorers Luther, Lundy,
and John Whitworth doing a tremendous job, ran the
score to 1 17-97.

With seven straight wins under their belts, the team
prepared to take on traditional rival Huntingdon. This
game will remain in the memories of many 'Southern
students who traveled by charter bus or by car as a
battle against the officials. Sports fans are likely to
complain for little or no reason, but the exhibition dis-
played in Montgomery was ridiculous. As the story
goes, Childers and Self of Huntingdon scored the
points and the Cats lost 98-87 in a frustrating match.

Staying on the road, the Panthers moved on to
Atlanta, meeting LaGrange and Georgia State in re-
matches. State proved once again to be a menace to
'Southern despite its poor record. The Cats led by
1 1 points at half-time, only to trail in the third quarter
by a free throw. Closing the third period, however, the
Panthers roared back to take the victory by a ten-point
margin. LaGrange has long been a tough foe for
BSC and again as in the beginning of the year, the
Cats bowed to them 89-80.

Coming home, perhaps to have their well-traveled
tires changed, the Panthers met Millsaps, Mississippi
College, and Huntingdon in succession. In the first two

games it appeared that the team once again had its
winning ways, but to the disappointment of over 1 ,200
people they dropped the homecoming game to the
Hawks. Leading by as much as 13 points, the Pan-
thers saw their lead slowly dwindle away until, with
50 seconds on the clock, they had fallen behind by 3
points. Final score: Huntingdon 82 — 'Southern 81.

In three years Harold Pickel has built a basketball powerhouse at
'Southern. Determination, hard work, nothing short of perfection
are his demands. Sleepless nights, constant worry, unending
planning are the prices. The product; a winning season.

Forward and Guard, averaged over 17 and 16 points
respectively per game. Dependable ball-handling from
Sophomore Guard Jim Humphreys and awesome rebounding
ability displayed by Junior Center Walter Garrett, rounded
out the starting five places. During the entire season. Coach
Harold Pickel relied on back-up men Doyle Newby, Kirby
Sevier, Mike Parker, Walter Donaldson, Bill Burch, Butch
Wessel, Gary Leeman, and Ed Harbin. Without the aid of
these experienced courtmen, the team would not have been
as successful. Next season Hilltop students and Coach Pickel
can look forward to the return of 14 experienced varsity
players, including freshmen Don Krup, Lew Mitchell, and Tom
Yeilding, who saw limited action.

LEADERSHIP

Leadership is a composite of many qualities,
all of which may be discussed to the point of
becoming amusing dialogue. The individual who
can handle himself is not terribly rare. But the
person who can handle both his temperament
and human nature is the one who aggregates
positive leadership qualities without being made
himself into a hackneyed leader. In the position
of chairman, editor, or president, one exposes
himself to criticism, satire, and blame. Elevation
which always abounds in the moment of election,
for some rarely extends beyond that moment into
the daily tasks. Nothing environmental inspires
extraordinary leadership; chance and circum-
stance usually determine the ascension. This
detrimental network can trap some would-be
B.M.O.C.'s, but it is the ladder-work for others.
At 'Southern, the leadership positions are many —
whether or not leaders fill them is annually a
moot question.

Phi Beta Kappa

The Key of the Phi Beta Kappa scholar marks the
highest scholastic honor that a college student can attain.
The Phi Beta Kappa scholar is nationally recognized for his
achievennent, since only those institutions which meet cer-
tain requirements of excellence can maintain a chapter. At
'Southern is chartered one of the two chapters of Phi Beta
Kappa in the State of Alabama. The scholars must have a
3.4 average or above, must have resided in a Phi Beta
Kappa institution for two years, and must be within the
upper 15 per cent of the graduating class. Members of
Phi Beta Kappa for 1965 were:

Omicron Delta Kappa, the national leadership

'Southern in 1924. In selecting students for member-
ship, ODK taps in recognition of achievement in scholar-
ship, athletics, student government, social and religious
affairs, publications, speech, music, drama, and the
other arts. One faculty member is also tapped each year
to promote mutual interest and understanding and to
create an honorary organization representing all members
of the collegiate community. This year's membership
continued the ODK tradition of presenting the campus
with a student directory and sponsoring an alumni
banquet in the spring — proving again that campus
leaders ac'tually do lead.

Mortar Board

At Birmingham-Southern, AAortar Board is the highest honor that a senior woman may
receive. Membership is gained through on excellence in scholarship, faculty recommendation,
and a unanimous vote of the AAortar Board chapter. Pre-requisites are loyalty, leadership,

and service to the college.

Striving to render some service, and not to just exist, AAortar Board this year sponsored a
graduate school forum for seniors which proved surprisingly informative and helpful with the
participation of eleven faculty members. Along with the inauguration of this forum, a file of
graduate school catalogues has been placed in the library for interested students.

1965-66 also saw AAortar Board reluctantly give up sole management of the book ex-
change. Originally started by AAortar Board, the distribution of used books has now been
assumed by the BSC bookstore. The result- more books available to more students with

Triangle Club is an honorary organization which

varying from campus politics to singular personality,
members are selected by students one year their
senior to serve as unpaid staff workers at the insti-

representatives. It is excellently aided by Dr. Henry Randall, who serves as
faculty advisor.

The year 1965-1966 was full of SGA surprises. One such jolt was that
the SGA showed itself to be an amazingly effective force on the Hilltop. This
display of initiative was generally thought to be impossible. We are slightly
awed to learn that SGA can actually do something besides make budget
allocations and add to the collegiate prestige of its members.

Another surprise was the SGA success in submitting its budget request
on time this year, after first finding out that budget requests do exist. A pri-
mary reason for this scattering of dust from the SGA tomb is not only
pleasantly surprising but also relatively simple; the 'Southern student body
finally elected a president who was dedicated to developing the creative
potential that an SGA can harbor. Such directive leadership in a student
body president is a 'Southern Phenomenon.

Of course, this does not say that all mediocrity was removed from its
deep entrenchment in the SGA. Such revolutions are not accomplished in one
year. Perhaps with another good election, plus a little bit of luck . . . but this
peroration must be left to the future.

We rejoice there is — at last — a basis on which the future can build.

Honor Council

~<^

Robert Smith
Chairman of the Honor Council

The Honor Code at Birmingham-Southern is admin-
istered by the Honor Council, composed of eight upper
division students elected by the student legislature, the
Dean of Women, the Dean of Students, and the Dean of the
College. This Council is charged with a specific respon-
sibility—"to acquaint all new students with the terms of
the Honor Code, with the 'extreme importance of the Honor
System', and with the investigation of any reported offense."

One could easily imagine the atmosphere of an aca-
demic society that supported no code of honor and nurtured
cheaply competitive students instead of scholars. Realizing
that carelessness and self-deception may prove to be the
Achilles heel of even the most promising student, the Coun-
cil this year has sponsored the much-needed publication
of an honor system handbook. It is a credit both to the
Honor Council and to the College that academic integrity
and ethics have become the norm rather than the exception.

Publications Board

The Publications Board was organized at Birming-
ham-Southern for the purpose of governing and
supervising the three campus publications ~H///top
News, Quad, and Southern Accent. The Board is
composed of the editors and the business managers
from the three publications; the president, the
secretary, and the treasurer of SGA; the Dean of

Students; and the chairman of the faculty com-
mittee on student publications. For the first time in
its recent history, the Board has attempted to draft
by-lavi/s and standards for its publications. In this
endeavor, the Board has correctly discovered that
"responsible and effective journalism" is not pro-
moted by censorship, but by responsibility.

The Hilltop News for 1965-66 conformed in many
v^ays to the guide lines heretofore established for
the weekly campus media. Stories ranging from
freshman impressions of the "rolling green Hilltop"
to an exclusive expose of Parents' Day could be
found from pages one to four, with the usual recap

of campus athletics. This year's Hilltop News, how-
ever, will probably be remembered best for its
questionable non-editorial policy. In refusing to
"rock the boat", the newspaper offered no sounding
board for criticisms of either administrative or
student actions in the Hilltop community.

Assuming the role of the intellectual magazine of the campus. Quad
this year claimed to present "the best student literary efforts in keeping
with the high standards set forth by the Publications Board." Surprisingly
enough. Quad fulfilled its commitment, finding more varied content, careful
editing, and sound business management — a successful forr"nula for gaining
student approval.

With the acquisition of a permanent office. Quad has firmly established
its place among campus publications. It only remains to be seen whether
Quad will continue to seek the approval of diversified interests or return to
court the flustered feelings of misunderstood intellectuals.

Seeking to capture the year 1965-1966 with realistic photography and
copy, this year's Southern Accent makes no claim to be the perfect year-
book. The right and "unvoiced duty" of the Accent to offer a creative resume
of the school year became firmly secured by the publication of the 1964
product, but was somewhat weakened by rosy sentimentality in 1 965.

In continuing this legacy, the 1966 staff has worked a full year in an
effort to present a publication which is, in tone and in appearance, both
creative and collegiate. Yet, whether or not the 1966 Southern Accent has
achieved this admittedly difficult goal depends upon individual reaction.

Fred Maulden
Editor

This year, for the first time, the Hilltop News
operated under a new system of "overlapping"
editorships. The new editor was elected in the winter
quarter and served with the previous editor's advice
during the spring, before managing the newspaper
alone the next fall.

All campus news was considered for publication.
No attempts were made to patronize or discriminate
against any organization, religious, departmental, or
social. Nominal attention was given to any national
news believed to be of importance to the student
body.

Considering its financial situation, with a subsidy
from the SGA of approximately two-thirds operating
costs, the Hilltop News attempted, successfully, to
end the year "in the black". Added to its financial
stability, the acquisition of a new office further
strengthened the production of the 1965-66 Hill-
top News.

'66 Southern Accent

BIRMINGHAM-SOUTHERN COLLEGE

BIRMINGHAM 4, ALABAMA ♦ Phone 328-5250 ■ Ext. 222

EDITOR • Chips Bailey
BUSINESS MANAGER • Jim Tripp

"The Southern Accent, published annually, is the
student yearbook," according to the 1 965-66 college
catalog. Although somewhat more help in deter-
mining the role of the Southern Accent is offered to
each year's staff from Publications Board, a few in-
terested faculty members and administrators, end
non-apathetic students, it falls squarely upon the un-
wary shoulders of each editor to determine the
proper role. Idealistically, the Southern Accent
should be a publicity medium, a reference book, and
o record of the school year — all in one.

This year's annual, however, is an attempt to
capture and interpret the true character of the
period from Spring Quarter 1965 through Winter

Quarter 1966. In presenting, for the first time a
full three-quarter yearbook we have made no at-
tempt to whitewash nor to criticize bitterly or
unjustly. The Southern Accent for 1966 is indeed a
student publication, as we have sought the assist-
ance of interested students outside our own staff
whenever the case has warranted it.

Birmingham-Southern College has been and
continues to remain rich in tradition and prestige.
It has been a welcomed task to record 1965-1966
for the Hilltop.

QUAD

David Vest
Editor

Maurice Gilbert
6us/'ness Manager

Quad is a magazine produced by students with general student
reader interest in mind. With this creator-responder relationship
firmly established, such secondary roles as that of a showcase for
visitors and alumni take care of themselves. Ideally, the writers and
artists represented in Quad take as their primary source the intel-
lectual enlightenment and human involvement offered by a liberal
arts education.

We presented two issues during this academic year. Our edi-
torial machine consisted of a six-member advisory board and an
editor with power of final decision; numerous others participated
in both routine labors and the more nebulous task of criticism. We
believe that the amount of material offered us for considerotion
was the largest in Quad history, which dates back a quarter-
century.

The existence of Quad is justified only by an interested reading
audience; an energetic reaction was our primary goal.

ORGANIZATIONS

As on all campuses everywhere, organizations
on the Hilltop when viewed as a collection can,
only at best, be seen as a conglomeration of
units, each aiming with varied intensity at a goal.
Perhaps that goal is no more than post-college
recognition of having "belonged," acknowledge-
ment from others of one's potentials and achieve-
ments, or a search for acceptance. For a fev/,
however, the organization is a means whereby
one may further develop his talents and interests
by work through and with others of like-nature.
Because of these few, the many otherwise pur-
poseless organizations are allowed to exist and
perpetuate themselves. For it is generally true
in society, the strong sustain the weak.

B.S.C. Choirs Superior in
Performances

The choirs of B.S.C. are divided into three distinct
groups of which all are noted for their excellence in per-
formance and laudability in talent. Jim Tripp is president of
the three-year-old "Southern Singers", the all-male chorus
which performs extensively throughout the South. Locally,
the Singers entertain for civic organizations, participate in
the Christmas Carol Service, and perform with the Birming-
ham Symphony.

Harry Mueller presides over the business affairs of the
Concert Choir. Members of this choir study choral literature
of all periods and represent the College on tour and at
Christmas and graduation functions.

Although not as well-traveled as their singing 'Southern
brothers, the Women's Chorus is no less blessed in talent.
Under the direction of Miss Daphne Grimsley, the girls sing
at various civic functions, the Pops Concert, and other such
events.

The credit for many a favorable impression of Bir-
mingham-Southern students must be accrued to the chorus

members and their superior performances.

Unique to this campus is the fact that musical
students make up fourteen per cent of the entire
student body. In the Young Artists auditions spon-
sored by the Birmingham Music Club, 'Southern
maintains an outstanding record. The winner of the
piano division is customarily a BSC student; the
organ category is annually won by a BSC student
and in voice competition the vast majority of winners
come from the Hilltop.

This year the choirs were distinguished by an un-
precedented appearance with the Birmingham Sym-
phony Orchestra. The first such performance by a
college choral group, the honor was well-matched
by the BSC choral renditions of "Requiem" and
"Carmena Burana".

Circle K Important for Campus
Service

Circle K, a college service organization with chapters
established throughout the nation, maintains a goal of service
to both the school and the community. The chapter at 'South-
ern, sponsored by the Birmingham Kiv\/anis Club, responds to
immediate rather than traditional needs. A Spring host for one
hundred and fifty Circle K men attending the 1965 District
Convention, the chapter this year has aided class registration,
co-sponsored an all campus dinner with the Freshman Class,
and assumed sponsorship of a Freshman Orientation Program.
Circle K, under the leadership of Jim Bob Williamson and
through its service and willingness to work, has shown that a
service club is indeed a valuable asset to the college
community.

In an effort to challenge the student to a
mature response to Christianity, the ministry
of the AASM for 1 965-66 was developed to move
in three directions — directions which the coun-
cil felt were the natural ones of movement for
the Church regardless of denomination. The
three directions were (1) periodic programs of
interest and worship services, (2) several small
independent study groups, and (3) a program
of service which was participation in the Co-
operative Tutoring Service for culturally
deprived children in the surrounding area.
Participation was encouraged, but not pushed,
in any or all of these directions which created
student interest and concern.

STUDENT LIFE

Isolated in a severely limited atmosphere, the
'Southern student must, of necessity, limit his
energies to participation in solely campus affairs.
Involvement in the mainstream of political and
social unrest, so evident among students in larger
universities, is reduced on the Hilltop to total
immersement in a range of activities that is nar-
rower both in scope and ultimate significance.
However, the almost interminable procession of
committee meetings, ball games, and fraternity
parties are conducted in a unique aura of kinship
which manages to breathe a degree of meaning
into endless motion.

The campus police are never here when you need them.

Talent and Beauty

Greek Week "Tests"
Greek Participation

Spring quarter 1965 saw the initiation of Greek
Week — a Greek sponsored activity replacing over-
worked Catspaw. Beginning with a faculty-student
tea, activities continued throughout the week with
each fraternity in cooperation with one sorority
sponsoring an event. Despite an annoying check to
the merriment produced by a surprising number of
unexpected tests, many students managed to tran-
scend the setback, and participation was active.

Among the week's activities, a non-competitive
fraternity sing was revived, and Dean John Black-
burn from the University of Alabama was guest
speaker at the Friday night banquet. Ending the
week was an all campus street dance at which
Sharry Baird AAackin and Ronnie Lucky were intro-
duced as Miss Venus and Mr. Zeus.

"Stop! I have o splinter!"

Spring Things on the Hilltop

Spring has always been a time for 'Southern
students to celebrate events other than those listed
on the academic calendar— patio parties, creek
banks, and houseparties, to name a few. Yet, during
Spring Quarter, '65, the attention of the college was
also focused toward new visitors who, through in-
vitation or unquenchable desire, decided to view
the Hilltop.

The second annual Spring Visit allowed over two
hundred prospective high school students to sample
'Southern's liberal arts education and campus life,
while strangely enough, the weatherman co-

operated. Later in April, the male segment of the
campus invaded Stockham to welcome the reigning
Miss America, Vonda Kay Van Dyke, who was visit-
ing the campus on her tour through the South. Fol-
lowing beauty came politics as the Young Demo-
crats hosted a visit by Alabama's United States
Senator John Sparkman the next week, as he spoke
to a large crowd of students, faculty, and adminis-
trators.

Spring quarter always brings welcome relief
from our winter of discontent.

Senator Sparkman comments on national political issues and
his thirty years' experience as Representative, Senator, and
Vice-Presidential nominee.

"Oh, come on Bill. Wouldn't you like to go with a Miss America?"

F.L.O.P.'s Go-Go Girls

Independents Sponser Campus- Wide
F.L.O.P.

The first campus-wide function of spring quarter
was the Independent-sponsored F.L.O.P., or Funny
Looking Outfit Party. As suggested by its title, costumes
or old clothes were the order of dress for the evening,
and a prize was awarded for the most original ugliness.
Stretching its theme to almost unbelievable lengths, a
hairy chorus line comprised the major portion of the
intermission entertainment. Acting as Master of Cere-
monies for the party were Jim Cobb and Gary Klotzman.
The Independent-sponsored function was the first of
its type and provided an excellent opportunity for sly
but appreciated cuts against the "other half."

"Stop! Your Adam's apple is making me dizzy!"

'65 Sees May Day in April

Recognizing the official advent of Spring, 'South-
ern's annual May Day celebration, with its Greek
sponsored booths, barrel races, and egg throwing
contests, again found its place among the quarter's
activities. However, due to scheduling difficulties
on the college's infamous master calendar, April 30
claimed the unique distinction of stealing the spot-
light from its sister month. As the football field was
being resodded, the quad provided the center of
festivities for the '65 rite, allowing serious scholars
to gaze disapprovingly from the library windows.

Defeating opposition of the traditional "Prettiest
Legs" contest was Dr. Henry Randall; but moving
from beauty to beast, A Phi O's "Ugliest Man On
Campus" contest was gloriously captured by Ian
Sturrock. Climaxing the day's activities was an all-
campus dance at which May Queen, Sally Argo, and
her court were presented.

bales of hay create an authentic hillbilly atmos-
phere—along with varying degrees of corn.

Why does everybody look forward to houseparties?!

Three Days in May

Reminiscent of the Dionysian festivals of the
ancient Greeks ore the houseparties of the Hilltop
Greeks. Twice during spring quarter, packed corfuls
of screaming couples exit en masse for the site of
the traditional festivities. However, like the rites of
our famous ancestors, there is an element of per-
sonal risk involved in these week-ends of hilarity;
for three days of sharing blankets, suntan oil, and
peanut butter can make or break a relationship. The
outcome of the week-end can usually be guessed
from these cars that reluctantly pull onto campus
late Sunday night, or those that brusquely arrive
early Sunday morning.

Hopefully, graduation is the presentation not merely of men
and women with degrees, but men and women with educations.

The beginning and the ending of
study is with these — the graders,
advisors, lecturers, and pro-
fessors of knowledge.

Graduation is good-by.

Pomp,

Circumstance,
• • . and Farewell

Graduation, until June of one's senior year, is an
abstract term. With that final spring, however, the haze
begins to solidify. The hours and quality points pile up
more on the plus than the minus side, job interviews and
GRE suddenly stand importantly in your world and not,
as before, in someone else's.

For the undergraduate, senior nostalgia, plans and
even fears are somewhat inexplicable. But pomp and
circumstance, speeches, processions, caps and gowns
are the outward symbols of an inward ceremony. For
all — senior, parent, professor, and administrator-
graduation is the acknowledgement of the academic
maturing of a group, the recognition of a constant
search given an initial direction.

The "Head" waiter serves the guest of honor.

'Southern Honors Mr. Yeilding

Once called "the toughest man with a dollar in
America", Newman Manly Yeilding — "Red" to all his
friends and adversaries — was tastefully honored and
praised into retirement after directing the financial
affairs of the College for four decades. Uniquely
enough, a "chosen forty", composed of male and coed
summer school students, served as waiters and hostess-
es to the limited audience of B.S.C. faculty. Board of
Trustees, the Yeilding family, and several close friends
of the College.

The July evening in the Student Center was appro-
priate indeed to praise a man synonymous with the
word Hilltop itself. "Red" was presented with several
memorable gifts — a key to the city, a bound volume of
one hundred letters from elected friends, and the
wooden chair which he occupied as Bursar, Treasurer,
and Financial Vice-President. The eloquent Master of
Ceremonies, Bishop W. Kenneth Goodson, probably
bestowed the highest honor in saying, "Think of
Birmingham-Southern and you think of two names: Dr.
Guy E. Snavely, first. And I rate Red Yeilding second."
The guest of honor made no speech, but concluded
typically . . . "And thanks for feeding all the Yeildings
tonight."

service to 'Southern.

Orientation: New Faces and Spirit

. il

Orientation for the 1965-66 Freshman class began
September 1 6 upon arrival on campus. Despite the mass
of information bestowed during orientation proper,
classes were extended for the first time this year to
Thursday convocations for the Freshmen.

A trip to Blue Lake climaxed the week of tests,
classes, convocations, and resulting confusion. Freshman
camp is an activity designed to instill a sense of unity
among the freshmen and to delineate the particular
spirit of the class. (However, the false assertion on the
part of several seniors that the freshman spirit appeared
outside their windows during the night is to be forever
disregarded.) On September 28, the Freshman bubble
of orienting by morning, partying by evening and talking
by wee hours of the night, was popped by the harsh
reality of CLASSES!

Fraternity Rush
97% Effective

Remembering names, late rendezvous both in the
dorm and fraternity houses, and formal rush parties
are all part of the fraternity program during rush
week. Yet, in spite of a new requirement that Greek-
interested freshmen report on campus four days
before orientation, the fraternities conducted the
most competitive and surprisingly successful rush
in 'Southern's history. Working under a new system,
every rushee was given an equal chance to meet
each chapter during the hurried but memorable
week. It is a credit to the fraternity system that
rush resulted in not only full but dispersed pledging.

Sorority Rush
Hectic Weeic

Despite the overwhelming heat of late summer,
sorority rush proceeded in the overcrowded and
unventilated rooms on the top floor of Stockham.
An unusually difficult period, resulting from a
greater number of interested women and last-
minute changes due to the orientation schedule,
the rush period was nevertheless fair and generally
co-operative. Considering the ugly reality of simple
acceptance or rejection implied in the Greek system,
it is significant that the 1965 women's rush was 94
percent effective.

Miss S. A. Pageant:

Any long standing acquaintance can mold with-

seven-year old Miss Southern Accent Pageant,
though still an interesting and notable campus
event, stood this year in danger of assuming just
such a staleness. It is to the credit of a dedicated
and hard-working coterie of students that the
eighth annual campus beauty contest became the
1965-66 AAiss Southern Accent Pageant. Procedure
for selection remained the same: the nominations,
the tense Beauty Walk, the unnerving interviews, the
strained banquet, the final voting, the anxious
preliminaries, the applauded coronation. But the

special additions to the framework of these cus-
tomary procedures resulted in a new emphasis.

"Good entertainment" — the original purpose of
the contest— became, with the contracting of "The
Lettermen," standing-room only entertainment. Both
the stage and the program were artistically dis-
tinctive. Even the Beauty Walk was decorated to full
recognition of its purpose; a gracious setting for a
pretty group. Something special, something more,
something close to perfection — these were the key-
notes and mottoes for the revival of a fading
tradition.

Student Congress Offers an Answer

Seeking to inaugurate o non-legislative, opinion-gathering student
governmental body, the idea for this type of organization developed
directly fronn 1965's spring quarter SGA elections. This proposition proved
a major and winning plank in the platform of this year's student govern-
ment president. Bill Hogan. A committee of twelve worked intermittently
for six months to construct a feasible framework for 'Southern's first
Student Congress.

The Congress, composed of both commuter and resident representa-
tives, is designed to supplement and not to supplant the SGA. It is indeed
to the credit of the organizing committee that the Congress' creation and
function is not the work of any single person or faction but has found es-
tablishment mainly through the diverse forces of Hoganism, hlowingtonism,
and Conwayism.

In essence, this new adventure in student government allows more
students to have a voice in campus affairs and in SGA governmental
procedure. More important is the fact that campus leadership can now
offer a firm reply to that petty, recurrent administrative question, "Is
this what the students really want?"

of the Casino Party. With visions of a
Hilltop Playboy Club dancing in their
heads, the AXO's take over the anti-
septic ballroom and provide a swing-
ing band, supervised gambling, and a
torchy floor show directed toward the
male tastes of the campus. This party
should be remembered as the first to
prove that an all-Greek group could
successfully host the entire campus.

crowd of 450. Grady Clarkson was a skillful M.C. with the
show theme of "LUV". So determined were the girls of the rose
to defy snow and ice that not even the chorus line faltered.
Bill Hogan, the president of 'Southern's S.G.A., received the

rewarded for its loyal attendance by late permission.

Snow: "Would You Believe It?"

With its characteristic awkwardness, the Alabama
weather defied oil predictions and chose to snow on the
one January weekend out of three that the weather bureau
had not forewarned the populace. Although the snow only
lasted the weekend, it wrecked havoc on the AOPi plans
for AAr. Hilltopper and on the mid-quarter study plans of
most students. Those who had journeyed safely down the
hill sat in the snack-bar and watched fellow students picking
their way down treacherously icy walks . . . and the cafe-
teria tray supply was strangely deplenished after amateur
and veteran tackled the campus slopes with tray-sleds.
Fraternity house drop-ins were rewards for the hardy snow
lovers who eventually felt the zero-degree temperatures.
And despite the fears of the -4 degree night, the AOPi's
had a good crowd for AAr. Hilltopper. It was one weekend
that everybody was "snowed" on the Hilltop.

Dating: The Memory Always Remains

Even here, even in a "study school", the individual need for
communication grows beyond the casual snack-bar conversation, the
between-classes dialogue. The need takes form and is extended
through the study date, the fraternity party, the downtown show, the
ten p.m. dorm lobby visit, the campus theatre. Like dancers in an
ancient ritual, the coed and collegiate go through the traditional
paces of dating, lavaliering, and pinning. It is often difficult in the
pressures of the campus world to determine whether the steps are
motivated by a desperate search for someone to share the burden or
by an uncompromising honest affection. With the various academic
interludes, pause may lead to introspection, and introspection to
realization. The beginnings may then become the sudden endings.
But the change in partners is not usually permanent.

For some, the dating custom is merely a rank in the social
grading system; for others, it is a meeting and an eventual apprecia-
tion of another personality. Only the lucky or the wise find themselves
in the latter category. For them, there is a part of the Hilltop that is
especially fine, particularly beautiful . . . and happily lessened in
frustration. Like every aspect of 'Southern, the various attempts result
in exactly what one's ingenuity and patience make them.

Beginning, continuation, ending . . . the memory always remains.

SRA: The Church in a World Come

For the first time in several years, the student body
was presented a religious speaker who could appeal
to those on campus not specifically interested in
the discussion of religion and who spoke in the
vernacular on the college layman — not of the grad-
uate school curriculum. This welcomed change was
accompanied by still another change.- the mythical
Religious Emphasis Week became the more
sophisticated Student Religious Association Lectures.

This appealing guest lecturer was Dr. Claude
Evans, Chaplain of Southern Methodist University,
who spent a full three days in organizing a search
for the modern church and a relevant meaning for
its participants in 1966. For those who participated
in this safari in religion, the involvement offered a
far more honest insight into the nature of the Church
in a world come of age. For those who didn't,
despite the several lectures and open discussions
held by Dr. Evans and our College Chaplain, Don
Shockley, the week of January 28th probably proved
insignificant.

The 9 O'clock Panic

According to the faculty, the last week of every quarter is the
time of truth when each student is called upon to display his abound-
ing knowledge or lack of it. To the student, finals represent that
unique period when the ever-popular "hello" may be heard but not
welcomed and when the study room becomes a nurtured companion.

Short tempers and tired nerves are the conditions of the majority
of Hilltop scholars, who blatantly declare that it is inconceivable how
anyone could get so far behind, with their companions in knowledge
nodding in i agreement. For the many students who try to cover a
quarter's work in a few days, the week before finals may often
prove the hardest of all. All in all, finals are the end of everything —
including student life.

It has been said of 'Southern that, "Everybody
studies, so it's not so hard to do." True enough,
that term papers, afternoon labs, and the ever-
prevalent tests do require a large majority of stu-
dent time; but excluding extremes, is this not as it
should be in an academic community devoted to
ambition and serious intellectual achievement?
As one progresses from that "color me green" gul-
lability of a first-quarter freshman, through the
sophomore slump, to the know-it-all junior, and
finally to the battle-scarred senior, he finds that
his studies have not immuned him to the rest of the
world but rather have helped him to understand it.

The following people are individuals who are
progressing toward this understanding.

EPILOGUE

Volume 25 — the '66 Southern Accent— is now
completed, recording another year in the contin-
uous history of Birmingham-Southern. For the
editor and staff, this year has not been typical in
the preparation and production of this volume.
Specifically, a new publishing company was con-
tracted in an attempt to make available within
our budget the various modern printing tech-
niques employed in the best college yearbooks.
Another rarity this year was the fact that the
staff received full co-operation from the S.G.A.
and even a somewhat concerted effort by its mem-
bers to understand the problems involved in a
student publication.

On the technical side, a new design in division
pages was adopted instead of the standard
"symbolic" picture — in order to capture the full
meaning of FACULTY, ADMINISTRATION, or STU-
DENT LIFE. Coupled with new page layout designs
has been an abundant use of Langford photo-
graphs. A full four months was spent re-working
and producing the GREEK section which has been
unintentionally ignored in the past. Unnecessary

pages were dropped where possible for the pur-
pose of enlarging the STUDENT LIFE section and
creating 'Southern Accents, a four-page photo-
essay. Spot color has been used where most
effective, along with a full-color double page
breaker for the BEAUTY section. In compiling these
244 pages, more than 3,000 frames of film hove
been exposed to bring you an accurate, yet

thoughtful. Southern Accent.

The job of covering three full quarters — Spring

and Fall, '65, and Winter, '66 — has been a diffi-
cult but challenging experience. For this endeavor

into the realm of publications, special thanks are
due to Howard Cruse, for help with the cover
design; Jan Brooks, for the art drawing of the
Quadrangle; Gil Rogers, in supplying certain
needed photographs; Ernie Crates, representative
for Inter-Collegiate Press; Sally Alexander, for
an excellent job as Copy Editor; the S.G.A. , for
timely financial support; and to some fifty stu-
dents, faculty, and administrators who were
interested enough to ask for a truly distinctive
yearbook. The editor and staff hope our attempt
will be judged accordingly.
